Now we know why it took so long for Kathleen Sebelius to get officially thrown under the bus by the Obama regime. Sebelius stayed in position longer enough so that we the tax payer can pay for her government benefits. Because the old hag stayed on with the Obama regime for five years, the amount of time needed to qualify for tax payer funded pensions.

Daily Caller (via Weasel Zippers):
Asked to confirm the existence of these benefits for Sebelius, an OPM spokesman would only direct TheDC to a website that answers questions for government retirees.
But according to a Daily Caller analysis based on information on the agency’s website, Sebelius, under the Federal Employee Retirement System, could receive an estimated $10,000 pension from the government each year.
This pension is calculated by averaging her top three years worth of salary, which is $199,700 a year, according to reports. Under OPM policy, she gets 1 percent of that amount multiplied by the years served. Five percent of a $200,000 a year salary would amount to a $10,000-a-year pension for the rest of her life.
To be vested in that pension at all, a person has to have worked a minimum of five years, under OPM policy.
“If she left this week, her pension would be zero,” a source with knowledge of these benefits explained to TheDC.
Sebelius is 65. The OPM website indicates that federal employees that are at least 62 years of age and have worked for five years are eligible for immediate retirement. Under this policy, Sebelius could start receiving benefits 30 days after she stops working.
